Max has officially announced DC's surprise next superhero show, revealing it ahead of Peacemaker Season 2. The unexpected reveal is catching fans off guard, as many assumed the next major DC project on Max would be the return of James Gunn's hit series.

Max has officially announced that Teen Titans Go! Season 9A will be the next DC superhero show to premiere on the platform, arriving before Peacemaker Season 2. The Cartoon Network animated series will return to streaming with new episodes on May 2.

The animated series returns months ahead of Peacemaker Season 2, which is set for an August 21 release. With this move, Max is spotlighting one of its longest-running and most successful DC properties ahead of Gunn's live-action universe kicks off on Max. In animation, the new DCU officially kicked off on Max back in December 2024 with Gunn's Creature Commandos. While that series connected directly with Peacemaker, Teen Titans Go! has its own built-in audience, established in 2013, becoming one of the Cartoon Network's longest-running shows.

In addition to Teen Titans Go!, Max is also expanding its lineup in May 2025 with several notable non-DC projects debuting throughout the month.
